Hmm, isn't the ">" stuffing in front of a beginning-of-line "From " purely
a local matter of MUA that stores messages in (old-style) mbox format
where a line that begins with "From " is what defines the end of the
previous message? Why should send-email do anything when it sends
individual messages separately out?
